But Is It True?
The more interesting the gossip, the more likely it is to be untrue.
Motivation for Brevity
Nothing makes a long story short lived than the arrival of the person you happen to be talking about.
Gossip and Noise
The difference between noise and gossip is whether you raise your voice or lower it. –Franklin Jones
Jumbled Gossip
It isn’t the things that go in one ear and out the other that hurt as much as the things that go in one ear, get all mixed up, and then slip out the mouth.
Enlarging the Flow
The small streams of gossip poured into the ears emerge as mighty cataracts out of the mouths. –Paul Eldridge
